[QUOTE="RangerRick, post: 436119, member: 19360"] Not real difficult to bend. The same guy had another YJ with a 9" rear axle that needed some massaging of the Tomken skid on that Jeep. We removed the skid plate and applied a little force to bend it in slightly on the front side, (side towards the axle facing front of vehicle) and it cleared just fine also no sweat. While it was off, we wire brushed and cleaned it to repaint. It had been under the Jeep since the mid 1990's and was plenty scraped up over the years of wheeling. If you take the skid off, you'll have more professional looking results than trying to bend it while it's still mounted. RR [/QUOTE]
